Description

White heart shaped enamelled bowl with 3 stripes.  The heart is about 10cm by 10cm wide at the widest point and about 2-3cm max height.  The edges don’t rise up too much.

I made this bowl starting with 0.5mm thick copper sheet. I cut a heart shape out using a jewellers saw and shaped it into a shallow bowl.  Once I’d got the shape, I enamelled it using vitreous enamel and a kiln.  The main enamel colour is called ivory (creamy white).  On the last firing I added three glass strands, two black, one green and fired it for longer than normal (overfired).  The green strand spread out more than the other two strands.  Overfiring gave the bowl a dark outer edge and tiny dark dots.  The back of the bowl is enamelled in white and signed.

Enamel is effectively a glass coating.  It can crack if the bowl is dropped, but is reasonably tough.  I don’t think I’d trust it in a dishwasher though.  It can be a small bowl, dish, tealight holder etc.

Every item I make is unique, therefore the one you receive may differ a little from the one shown in the photo.  If you want a variation to this item, please get in touch because I can do custom orders.  Also, please get in touch if you would like more information.
